E52 - Desmond Tutu: Then and Now

South African photojournalists Sumaya Hisham and Eric Miller talk with Elizabeth Howard about documenting and celebrating, through their photographs, the life and work of the late Archbishop and Noble Peace Prize Laureate, Desmond Tutu, who, with Nelson Mandela, led the struggle against Apartheid. They describe their lasting friendship with the man they affectionately refer to as "the Arch." He would say to us, they recall, "If it wasn't for the photographers and journalists during the Apartheid period they would say we were lying." "Desmond Tutu: Then and Now" was recently on view in galleries at the South African Cultural Center in New York.
